Acta Poética es una revista académica semestral, arbitrada y de acceso abierto (open access) publicada en formato impreso y digital (a partir de 2027, solo en digital), editada por el Centro de Poética del Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Los alcances y el enfoque de Acta Poética nacen de y corresponden a las líneas y áreas de investigación del Centro de Poética. El Enfoque de Acta Poética es ofrecer a académicos de instituciones nacionales y extranjeras una plataforma intelectual para la reflexión, la discusión, el diálogo y la divulgación de sus investigaciones. Con ello, busca explorar y analizar los fenómenos literarios y artísticos no solo como objetos estéticos, sino también como núcleos privilegiados de significancia cultural, de comunicación crítica e interpretación del mundo. De este modo, busca contribuir a la generación de aportaciones sustantivas a la teoría, la crítica y los estudios literarios en un sentido amplio. Por lo anterior, a Acta Poética le interesa profundizar en los fenómenos u objetos donde la literatura y el lenguaje convergen con otras disciplinas (la filosofía, las ciencias, las artes, la política, la economía, el derecho). En consecuencia, la revista privilegia la publicación de investigaciones con perspectivas inter, trans, multidisciplinarias y/o comparatistas, en las que lo literario tenga un papel central. El Alcance de Acta Poética es publicar artículos, ensayos, notas, diálogos y reseñas originales, escritos principalmente en español e inglés, así como traducciones inéditas, que se inscriban en el Enfoque de la revista, sin circunscripción geográfica o temporal específica. Por lo anterior, a lo largo de su historia, nuestra revista ha concentrado textos sobre poética y teorías de la literatura en su relación con otras disciplinas y artes: por ejemplo, literatura, ley y violencia; estudios de género y escrituras de mujeres; estudios intermediales, multimodales y de la imagen; estudios retóricos y teorías del discurso; misticismo, esoterismo y lo sagrado en la literatura; literaturas visuales, sonoras, expandidas; estudios de filología y de historia literaria, entre otros, desde la edad antigua hasta la posmodernidad.
