always already

The origins of this word are to be found in the works of Jacques Derrida, a French post-structuralist. It indicates a process that is in motion, such as deconstruction, waiting to be revealed or noticed. People using this term can be identified as post-structuralists or trying to express a post-structuralist concept (such as Louis Althusser).

I'm always already in love (me).

always already

postmodernist term for our current time frame -- the same as that for all fictional characters and narratives, including reality.

We are always already exhausted with believing in things. Our decision has always already been made for us.
