Placing two things side by side (13)

I believe the answer is:

juxtaposition

(Other definitions for juxtaposition that I've seen before include "Close proximity" , "Placing of things close together" , "Place side by side" , "Adjacent placement" , "Closeness allowing for analysis of contrast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
