Sigalit:

You are asking key questions I think about what the term "folklore" 
covers--and that can be a thorny issue.  For an easy but well 
documented intro. to many of the issues in the field, I recommend:

Georges, Robert A. and Michael Owen Jones. Folkloristics: An 
Introduction. Bloomington, Indiana: Indiana University Press, 1995.

I teach that text in my mixed undergrad/grad  "Folklore in a Digital 
Age Course" at UW Madison.  Actually, the web site for that is:
http://endnear.com/FLR560/FLR560sch.html

There might be other useful stuff on that syllabus, but its old.  I 
am teaching it again next semester--so I am (with you) searching for 
articles on the topic!
