Narrative inquiry of Justin Trudeau's speech 'Je t'aime, Papa"

This is a narrative analysis on the eulogy addressed by 23rd Canadian PM Justin Trudeau at the funeral of his father, Pierre Trudeau —15th Canadian PM—. From the ideas by Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca (1969) on the epidemic genre, by Tomashevsky's (1965) narrative and motifs, and by Kent (1991, 1997), Kunkel & Dennis (2003), Dennis & Kunkel (2004), and Hewett (2008) on eulogies, this inquiry describes the way Trudeau presents his father’s liberal values while comforting the audience. This way, I prove that this is not only an eulogy, but that we also face a political speech and discourse.
