In music, it is an abrupt change of elements.
In film, the position of shots next to one another (montage) is intended to create meaning within the audience's mind.
In literature, a juxtaposition occurs when two images that are otherwise not commonly brought together appear side by side or structurally close together, thereby forcing the reader to stop and reconsider the meaning of the text through the contrasting images, ideas, motifs, and many more.
In paintings, juxtaposition of colours, shapes, etc, is used to create contrast.
Lastly in grammar, juxtaposition refers to the absence of linking elements in a group of words that are listed together.
