Answer 3

You could say that it was a juxtaposition but it wouldn't be the first thing of which I would think if you asked me to give you a juxtaposition. What might immediately spring to mind would be extremely sad lyrics about death or the demise of a relationship being set to an uptempo, house-type beat.

Answer 4

It means putting two or more ideas, visuals, or words together. Contrast may be the goal of the juxtaposition, but not always. Often, it is the pursuit of a more complicated idea just by putting the two things in close proximity. A simple example -think of a clock and what it symbolizes. Now think of how the meaning of the clock is changed if its next to money. Or next to a woman's midsection. Or a nuclear explosion... etc etc etc.

Also let it be known that is one of the words that is notorious for showing up in dense, nasty postmodernist thesis written by MFA's and the like. Also see Pastiche, Cosmeticized, Foucauldian ... :-O
