Binary opposition is a concept that refers to pairs of contrasting terms or ideas that highlight differences and create meaning through their opposition. This notion is particularly prominent in structuralism and post-structuralism, where it is used to analyze how ideas and cultural narratives are constructed and understood. In binary oppositions, one term is often considered the dominant or privileged element, while the other is seen as subordinate or marginalized.
