DESCRIPTION:This paper will present an analysis of the ways in which mobil
 ities are assembled into various sociotechnical systems\, how those system
 s come to be path-dependent structuring practices and habits\, how such pa
 ths are almost all oil-dependent\, and how oil is just such a problem in t
 he contemporary world. The paper will draw upon John Urry's 'Societies bey
 ond Oil' (Zed\, 2013) which demonstrates the extraordinary 'oiling' of soc
 iety in the last century and the many problems oil generates within the pr
 esent.
